During midterms, getting out of bed after an all night study session is hard enough. Trying to find something to wear when your eyes are barely open seems even harder, but it doesn’t have to be. Take a hint from this Fashionista, who effortlessly combines comfort, style and plenty of caffeine to get her through exams.

This Fashionista’s look is perfect for exam week. She chose an oversized, knit cardigan with lace details, which she layered over a simple, white tank top. Layering is something I can never emphasize enough; it is essential for comfort, especially in New England where temperatures fluctuate drastically throughout the day. This Fashionista is a master of layering, throwing on a pair of opaque tights under her eyelet lace shorts. She incorporates layering from head to toe with a pair of wool socks and combat boots. To complete her look, she piled on bangles, rings and a pendant necklace. These accessories add a special touch to her outfit and really showcases this Fashionista’s personal style. Throw on a pair of oversized sunglasses to hide tired eyes and grab a fun bag to store study materials. This outfit exudes confidence, which along with an extra shot of espresso, will get you through midterms with ease.

When all of the papers, exams and looming due dates that come with midterms have you stressing, choosing the right outfit should be stress-free. Take a deep breath and a tip from this Fashionista for a look that will leave you feeling comfortable and confident.

One Simple Change: Lose the tights and swap out the combat boots for some fun fringe ones for a look that is perfect for an outdoor music festival.
